Hospital Trustees
Hospital trustees play an increasingly critical role in helping their institutions effectively achieve their missions and visions. The governance you provide to your hospital or health system helps ensure that your family, friends, and neighbors can receive high-quality, cost-effective care when they need it most. As a leader in your community, and as a leader in your hospital, the decisions you make impact countless individuals, now and into the future.
Below are some resources compiled by CHA to help prepare you for your role as a hospital trustee.
